Blawith Knott

Walked on 17/10/2014

Start Point: Woodland Fell road (SD 256 879)

Woodland Fell road – Blawith Knott – Angus Tarn – Tottlebank Height – Woodland Fell road

Distance: 2 miles     Total Ascent: 156 metres     Time Taken: 1 hour 15 minutes     Start Time: 14:15

Weather: Unseasonably warm, 19°C

The weather was quite strange this afternoon, it really warmed up and the sun was shining so I made use of it to have a quick walk up to Blawith Knott. When I arrived it was 19°C and the walk was completed in shirt sleeves – it was a real throw back to summer. By the end of the walk it had turned into a different day though, the brooding clouds eventually turned to rain although the warmth continued. I’ve just bought new hat and gloves though they won’t be needed just yet by the looks of things.

These two seem to know the way!

Light and shade - the Coniston fells don't appear to be fairing as well as us

Aye, aye - the windswept look for Fletcher

It was indeed a strange mix - really warm with big dark clouds to the west and blue skies to the east

We are still in the sunshine, but not for long I think

Darker skies now on the return leg - 5 minutes after getting in the car it started to rain (so good timing really)
